Wars and other conflicts are created by unbalanced souls. A soul out of balance will try to upset others to spread their imbalance around. Look at Hitler- he infected a whole nation susceptible to his madness.

This cannot happen when each of us remains UNMOVED by the ploys used by these unbalanced ones.

To continue to work constructively for ALL BEINGS we must remain emotionally balanced. The destructive acts of unbalanced souls are to be EXPOSED- not fought against. To do so would tar us with the same brush and lead us to the same imbalance.

Let's not get drawn into their game- but instead, stand tall, remain poised and channel our energies for good!

There are those who favor using force to change existing political orders. Force is used to get people to do things they don't want to do. Nobody enjoys being forced in this way. It is interfering in their lives.

Such use of force results in the build up of resentments which spill over into future conflicts. Therefore the use of force contributes to long term unrest and works against peace.

To achieve a peaceful outcome trust and friendship must be built. To use force only delays this process.

In socialist countries
power is concentrated in the hands of a few political chiefs. In
capitalist countries power is concentrated in the hands of few big
business bosses.

Right wing parties tend to
favor big business in their dealings. Left wingparties favor concentrating power into the hands of government.
Both result in the centralization of power.

What is
the alternative?

Withdrawing power from
governments and corporations is achieved by bypassing them in our daily
dealings. Many of the functions they perform are unnecessary and
better carried out by individuals, small enterprises and communities.

The one factor that has been unknown by most humans, that is understood by the beasts, is that Well-being truly does abound; and that you are blessed beings who live in an atmosphere of grace; and that unless you are doing something to pinch off the Well-being, it will be yours.

Look for the evidence of the Well-being, and be an advocate for Well-being rather than an advocate for getting rid of what does not feel like Well-being. Then little by little by little, your own personal experience begins to take shape in a way that is more satisfying to you.

Power Elite 6: Understanding the rationale behind irrational acts

The basic equation is that a fallen
being can only absorb light of a lower vibration, which is why such a
being cannot steal spiritual light directly from others. It must get
those who have spiritual light to misqualify that light, to lower it to a
vibration that the fallen being can absorb. It does this by getting
people to engage in any type of activity that lowers the vibration of
their mental and emotional energies. An obvious example is any activity
that causes you to feel anger or fear. Yet many activities will feed
your spiritual light to the conglomerate of fallen beings and beasts,
which is why Jesus told you to be aware so you do not cast your pearls
before swine (Matthew 7:6).

You now see that although human
beings commit many acts for which they have no rational or logical
explanation, there is a rational and logical explanation for why people
commit such acts. The stark reality is that these people have become
tied to the conglomerate of fallen beings and beasts, and thus their
minds are – at least part of the time – controlled by, even taken over
by, this force. The dualistic force can manipulate people – by pulling
on their mental and emotional bodies – into committing actions that
misqualify light. When you look at the action itself, you can clearly
see that it accomplished nothing positive and had no constructive
purpose for anyone on Earth. As just one example consider how many
battles have caused people to be killed without actually accomplishing
anything decisive or constructive for any society. Yet the action was
not motivated by a desire to accomplish a constructive purpose on Earth.
It was triggered by the desire to produce misqualified energy that
feeds the fallen beings and the beasts behind them.

...

A substantial number of the people on
Earth have their minds so controlled by dualistic forces that they are
literally like cows that live only to have their energies milked by the
dualistic force. One obvious example is how addicts live and breathe
only to get their next fix. Yet even many so-called normal people feed
one or more of the planetary beasts through seemingly innocent
activities, such as smoking, drinking, watching excess TV, sex
addiction, gossiping, pornography, buying the latest consumer gadget or
fashion, or watching a violent sports activity. Basically, any activity
that can be addictive will feed one of the planetary beasts, as will any
activity that causes you to feel negative emotions or think negative or
selfish thoughts.

Most people are not completely taken
over by dualistic forces, but they do have ties that allow these forces
to steal their energies on a more or less frequent basis. These are the
people who have the potential to take action and free themselves and the
Earth from the influence of dualistic forces. The first step is to
become aware of how they are personally influenced by dualistic forces
and then extricate themselves from that influence. The second step is to
cry out to God for the Light of God to banish these forces – and the
state of consciousness out of which they spring – from the Earth. And
the third step is to go out and challenge the influence of such forces
on individuals and on the institutions of society. If people knew
better, they would do better, but who will help them know better?
Certainly not the forces of duality and the institutions they control,
including most religious institutions.

Consciousness is the space in which explanations occur and is prior to all explanations.

Every explanation for consciousness is just a thought- an
object in consciousness. Consciousness just
is, that is all we can rationally say about it. “Explaining”
it is just a nonsense- a conceit of the ego.

We can speak
about the conditions required in a physical body to enable consciousness to
function through that body but we can't speak about consciousness itself. This is because it has no physical or mental characteristics which can be described. Instead, it is the screen on which physical and mental events occur.

We can speak about physical experiences, sensations in the body and thoughts- all objects in consciousness. We can speak about the intensity of consciousness as we can with the intensity of light. Sometimes it is dim, sometimes it is powerfully bright. But this does not explain consciousness, itself. However, it does make it clear that the power and clarity of our consciousness does depend on bodily process whilst our consciousness is focused through a body.

Consciousness is that place
where experience occurs. We can only
speak about the experience and not the mental space in which it occurs. It is prior to language which is experienced as
an object in consciousness also, as all things are. Consciousness just is, and that is the whole story!

The elite rule by using their money and influence to brainwash the population into believing that what is good for the elite is also good for the common man.

This is done, first of all, by influencing underlying currents of thought- paradigms or philosophies held by the public. This can be achieved by funding and influencing institutions which play in a role in shaping the way the public view the world. An example of this is how academic institutions promote the doctrine of scientific materialism and actively discourage any belief or discussion of a spiritual dimension. Such a belief helps to keep the public feeling small and largely worthless.

Secondly, common beliefs about specific topics are influenced by the continual bombardment of the population with a viewpoint that serves the elites. Any other viewpoint is either ignored or actively discouraged. Ideally, preferred viewpoints are presented by "authoritative" figures that the population has been taught to trust and revere. Alternative viewpoints that don't serve the elites are marginalized, ignored or ridiculed. This has the effect of keeping most people believing as the elite desire. This is largely due to the common human desire to fit in and be accepted by their common man by believing as others do.

The way to overcome elite rule is by questioning handed-down "truths" and accepted wisdom which will enable us to come to our own conclusions about the nature of life and its constituent factors. A truly empowered, independently thinking public cannot be controlled by an elite for long. Our own role is in achieving this independence and reclaiming our rightful personal power which puts us beyond the reach of those who would seek to use us for their own selfish gain.

To say someone else is to blame when WE fire off a weapon is somewhat disingenuous!

Just because somewhat else has committed a violent act doesn't mean we should do likewise! This would just be lowering ourselves to their level of mindless brutality and this is no way to act for a person who believes in the value of life!

If a homicide bomber blows himself up in a crowded section of Tel
Aviv, G-d forbid, then Christianity teaches to “turn the other cheek.”
Judaism teaches to wipe evil off the map.

The Israeli government will
seek terrorists out and pull them from where they sleep. The Torah
allows for us to protect ourselves from murderers at all costs.

The Pope
has publicly said many times that the Israeli government should not
actively go after terrorists in Ramallah or Jenin or Gaza because we
have to learn forgiveness.

Who is turning the other cheek?

According to
Jewish law if someone is about to kill someone we are allowed to kill
him first. The Torah allows for the death penalty in many cases. The
Torah allows for harsh penalties for theft, lying, and harming a fellow
person.

True prophets speak from their own realization of truth rather than just rehashing the words of previous prophets, though these may be used to illustrate a point. This is the main difference between a prophet and a preacher, lawyer or academic.

I HAVE SAID that the world is going to be destroyed, not the earth. That’s very important to remember; because it's the earth, not the world, that you love. The earth will be here; and if you really come to life in the time you’ve got, you’ll be here too.

The earth and the life-forms on it will receive a savage, punishing blow. The earth too has to pay a penalty, as it’s already doing, for the selfishness of the intelligent life – us – that came out of it. We humans are of the earth; we are the original life-form of pure reflective intelligence on earth. But out of our ignorance – our willful disregard for life – came the destructive human self-conscious intelligence that created the world. The earth is responsible for us as a mother is responsible for her child. If the child is irresponsible or unloving, the mother will suffer in some way.

The understanding and use of the intuitive "sense" is not encouraged by modern institutions- but in Jedi circles it is given pride of place! The Jedi view the subtle senses as conveying messages that can't be gained any other way, and which prove useful for one's continued well-being and the well-being of others. Indeed, intuition is seen as playing a role that the thinking mind is incapable of fulfilling, for the thinking self exists in a kind of vacuum that may be totally removed from what is actually going on in the world around us. It is only the senses (both subtle and gross) that allow us to be in touch with the world around us and allows us to respond to life in the most appropriate and constructive way.

The problem with political parties is that people sometimes vote for candidates on the basis of their party affiliation rather than on their individual merits.
Additionally, established parties can act in concert to keep new political parties from gaining any real power thereby stifling dissent and new ideas.

Banning political parties is hardly the answer for this would force alliances between members underground where they would be harder to scrutinize.

The answer lies in having an intelligent and informed electorate with the degree of perception required to determine the value or otherwise of individual candidates and the ability to vote on this perception rather than following a blind allegiance to a political party.

The role of the politician is ideally to serve the wishes of the public, not to impose their own agenda upon them.
Sadly, many people attracted to public life seek to make the world over in their own image. It is these “values based” politicians we need to be wary of.

There is nothing wrong with people having values- this is inevitable- but it is important that such people are not chosen to lead when their desire is to usurp the free will of others, forcing them to live according to the values of the leaders.

Such political candidates seek to outlaw behaviors they find objectionable, often on supposedly "moral" grounds. In this way they seek to overthrow the free will of the individual. This results in a kind of imprisoning of the public- by limiting their choice of behaviors- by their elected officials so that the officials and their supporters can feel comfortable.

Those who value freedom need to be on guard to ensure they don't vote for such individuals, discouraging their attempts at muzzling human behavior.
